Here's what I don't get, why the hell was it not okay for her to have a pad in the first place? Are they so easy to smuggle stuff in? And how are you going to get stuff out in the middle of a visitors area without anyone noticing? Could she not just have given her bag to the guards and leave the…

It was a privately run prison. They have as much authority to hold and search somebody as you or I do- zero.

It happens because some staff at prisons think that even the visitors should be treated as non human pieces of garbage. I've never had something so terrible happen as this poor woman but I've been thoroughly disrespected and sneered at by guards while visiting my relative in a state prison. Fuck these officers and I…

Doe says the guard squatted at the level of her pelvic area and looked at her until she was satisfied that she was menstruating.

For god's sake! It's only 9:00 on FRIDAY & we already have like 10 totally fucked up,unjust, cruel, or downright rapey articles. I'm exhausted & it's only just begun I'm sure. Prove me wrong America! Prove. Me. Wrong!

I think it's really pretty much a stunt piece, and I've also been going back and forth on it. It certainly puts the privileged front and center. It is compelling, though, that they picked a trio of clotheshorses and then shoved the reality of where their clothes come from right in their faces.

Please make a sequel that involves sending the staff of Valleywag to work at the Apple factories in China, thanks.

We would all be totally cool with misogyny if we weren't such ugly, unfuckable hags!

Bro, that is so unbelievably brave of you to risk the safety of a person who isn't you for your art highschool "art" project boring softcore porn that you justify pretentiously.

How could you not include this part?

Check this part out:

Right? Don't try to sell me a slim jim and tell me it's caviar.

Fin charges $5 per episode and $50 for an all-access package, which includes every uncensored episode.

The pope is only the infallible voice of God on earth if he is speaking ex cathedra. Which hasn't happened since I think 1950. Everyone needs to stop with the papal infallibility stuff.

Right. I guess I'm thinking of, are you familiar with the wet-house drug policies Vancouver's pioneered? If you take a health-based approach rather than a punitive one to drug issues, where people can go somewhere safe to shoot up or get support to try to quit, you're not going to see people out trying to rob for…

It's true that that's a problem. You could try and collect them, and that would go a long way, but every other cracker out there is going to want to make a stand against the gubmint. It could turn pretty bloody, and while I'm not going to shed a tear for the Posse Comitatus wannabe crowd getting themselves killed, I…

I'm kind of hoping that's what he meant on a subtler level. God gave man the ability to Science, and we Scienced up some contraceptives.

I agree.....the old policy of "have more Catholics" IS "ideological colonization" in its purest form.... so this is a big change of stance...

No, I'm not. ALL BC methods can fail. IUDs can fail. However, I would argue that it is not "giving cover" to anything to point out facts that can be backed up by science. The best research indicates that if a woman practices an informed form of NFP/FAM (since it goes by multiple names) her success rate is generally…

This is huge. Really. It's an acknowledgement of the modern world. For all his flaws, this is the first pope we have that seems to have advanced beyond the fifteenth century. Bravo.
